What is Tumblr? My Child Wants It

Tumblr went online in 2007 and is home to 74.2 million blogs and more than 31.9 billion posts, according to the New York City-based company’s website.

Instead of tweets or updating a Facebook status, the blogging platform Tumblr offers users a chance to share interactive media.  Effectively – photos.

Most people who use Tumblr also link it to Facebook and Twitter

Does your child need Tumblr?  Not really.  As they make their way into High Schools, they may want to have it and parent WILL want to understand it before giving it to them.
